Stitches

Do dissolving stitches have a weird taste when they are dissolving?

I got my wisdom teeth out recently and they put in those dissolving stitches. I keep getting this weird taste in my mouth, it's a chemical-ish taste and it's back immediatly even after I brush my teeth. The only thing I could think was that maybe it was the stitches. Does anyone know from experience or whatever if they give off a weird taste when they dissolve?

1. Yeah I did, it was pretty nasty.
2. no sorry, i never did taste mine or get an after taste.
3. seeing as how they are made from gut....
4. You could still be bleeding a little bit and what you're tasting is blood. I had my wisdom teeth cut out and I bled for about 3 days. when I began brushing again I was careful not to run the toothbrush over the sore areas.
5. No i never tasted mine. Maybe you should asked your doctor. Your mouth could still be bleeding and that is what you are tasting. Hope it goes away real soon though.
